That rotter from Take Me Out who acted like a bit of a prat and then turned out to be engaged has got one less reason to be embarrassed today, as Jodie Marsh has come out and said she was never his girlfriend.

The Marsh was doing the papers round-up on This Morning, um, this morning, when she got asked by lovely Eamonn and Ruth whether she "knew" Damion Merry? Probably in the biblical sense.

"I went on one date with him, one date. We had pictures in a nightclub, he sold the pictures to the TV show or whoever and gave them away and now its being told that we had a whole full blown relationship and that I was his ex girlfriend."

In a moment reminiscent of when your uncle quizzes you about your new 'fella', Eamonn then went on to ask Jodie "Did you snog him?" CRINGE.

"I kissed him on the lips - and then that's it - we're married and having kids!"

Well maybe that's how it works with you, Jodie.

"Obviously I knew from that one date that he wasn't my ideal man let's say, and now I'm getting stick from this show and from people saying 'Oh my God, I can't believe you went out with that guy, he's so hideous'...and I didn't go out with him."

Got that? She didn't go out with him? Except she sort of did. And to be fair, he's actually a lot better than some of the other guys she's been linked to in the past.

Damion then took time out of his busy-being-hated schedule to reply on Twitter saying: 'Itv bothered more about Jodie marsh than they are all this s*** happening to me? This is so unfair. I've not sold one story to anyone.'
